A new recruit to the Royal Navy has been awarded nearly £200,000
after breaking her ankle on a 5ft jump she was ordered to make.

Sinead Dodds' was just 11 days into basic training when she had to jump to
the ground from an assault course obstacle.

She hesitated, but with fellow recruits queuing behind her and a petty officer
instructing her to go ahead, she took the plunge.

And doesnt she look feckin smug.

She said: 'I was fairly fit, I think. I did a lot of swimming and I was running as well.' Ten days later she was bashed on the ankle during a game of hockey and had to leave the field, but did not receive medical attention.

Well take some responsibility for yourself, you should have made sure you did receive medical attention. Enjoy your money you waster...
